An ECFanGrid project is a fan wall consisting of several EC motor turbines operating in parallel. ECFanGrid retrofit projects are mounted on a metal plate with all hardware to fit the internal dimensions of the AHU. This solution is intended to replace direct or DC drives, which consume a lot of energy and are costly to maintain. This solution provides energy savings of more than 50% in some applications (according to IEC 60034-30), with efficiencies higher than IE5. Our partners at Rosenberg France were successful in a project to replace a belt and pulley fan in a factory of one ...

Some projects require unobtrusive installations for ventilation equipment. The Invisair air curtains model from the Airtècnics catalogue fulfils this function perfectly. Invisair air curtains are part of the recessed range. They have a very special characteristic; the expulsion is made through a nozzle that leaves a reduced space for the expulsion slats. The installation we present here was carried out by the French distributor Exeltec. Together with the engineering firm Lefort Francheteau, has come up with a very special design for the historic building that houses the ...

During winter or in places where freezing and snowy weather conditions are common, air curtains are the perfect ally to preserve indoor comfort and save energy. Our partner Rosenberg carried out an installation in a factory warehouse in the small German town of Burladingen, south of Stuttgart, near the Swavian Mounts. There, during the winter, the snowfalls are intense, and the temperatures are very low.The air curtain model chosen for this installation was Maxwell, which is part of the range of industrial air curtains. It perfectly adjusts to the client's needs because it has ...

The end of the year is approaching and it is usual at this time of the year to take stock of the objectives set and the achievements made. In Airtècnics, within the quality policy of continuous improvement, we want to recapitulate and share these achievements of the year 2022.Expansion of the production facilities with a new building for ventilation units and heating coils for air curtains.Installation of solar panels in the second hall, which now has 100% self-consumption of energy and more than 100% energy generation compared to consumption.Product ...

The control and regulation of air curtains is essential to ensure energy and cost savings. This is achieved when the performance of the devices is adapted to each circumstance. Airtècnics has developed its own regulation systems for its products: the basic control and the CLEVER advanced control.The controls are designed with a simple and quick “Plug&Play” connection by means of a telephone cable with RJ45 connectors, thus avoiding errors. In this way, the connection between the control panel and the air curtain is established reliably, and no information ...

After two years of tireless work, research and product development, the quality and sales team of Airtècnics, together with our partners of Rosenberg Canada, have managed to obtain the CSA certification. Thus, under the CSA and UL standards for the commercialization of the air curtains in the North American market. The CSA/UL certification is a seal of guarantee and reliability essential for the presence of our product in the USA and Canada, and it has been certified with numerous external tests in CSA Group laboratories.Certified models include standard commercial and ...

Indoor air quality in schools has become a necessity included in the RITE regulations for buildings since 2007, accentuating its importance after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the majority of educational centres are well before this date, so they are exempt from the obligation to have a mechanical ventilation system.However, they are obliged to have air renewal in the classrooms. And when there are no possibilities to adapt ventilation facilities, air renewal has to be provided by opening windows and doors (natural ventilation). In many cases, due to environmental and ...

Enclosed spaces where animals live, especially in pet shops or veterinary clinics, require special mechanical ventilation conditions with frequent air renewal to ensure a healthy environment. It is essential that the air handling units are efficient and upgraded with EC FanGrid to operate at maximum performance. In this retrofit project, an AHU in an educational centre has been upgraded with a renovation EC FanGrid to cover air renewal needs of approximately 18,000 m3/h. It has been designed with the ability to reserve 25% of power to achieve a performance of 25,000 m3/h, if ...

One of the most important buildings for Turkish culture is the Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM), located in Istanbul, a city of Turkey. It has been renovated recently, after more than 50 years of history, and houses, among others, the Turkish Opera with an auditorium for more than 2,000 people. The project, carried out in more than two and a half years, at a cost of almost 120 million euros, uses Airtècnics air curtains.The model chosen was the Zen air curtain, the emblematic decorative model and the main choice of many architects for interior design. The installation ...

Air curtains are an essential element of the ventilation system to ensure energy savings in building entrances. And if these air curtains are heated in a heat pump system, it makes them highly efficient devices. Our distributor in Italy, Eurotecno, has carried out a high energy saving project by installing an Airtècnics air curtain with EC fans, connected to a heat pump system in the doorway of a Scorpion Bay men's fashion shop.High energy savings Heat pumps have the ability to transfer energy from the environment into a heat exchanger, using very little electrical ...

Many times the effectiveness of air curtains for energy saving has been contrasted with the consequent economic savings and less CO2 emissions, but what not everyone knows is that if the air curtain we are talking about is connected to a heat pump, the energy resources needed to make it work decrease even more.  The air curtain with heat pump heating is more efficient than the electric heating air curtains. For this reason, in Airtècnics we put at your disposal a very easy to use tool so that you can know in a few steps the difference in energy consumption, emissions or ...

Replacing centrifugal belt-driven fans with EC FanGrids (fan walls distributed in parallel) reduces energetic consumption, provides the air handling unit with a constant flow rate proportional to the number of fans used. Our partners at Rosenberg are specialists in retrofit projects. Projects in which ventilation systems are renewed are an effective method of improving efficiency, reducing energy consumption and, in the medium term, saving money. EC fans give the unit a perfect balance between electronics, motor and fan blades. Retrofit project At a major German newspaper ...
